Show’ Cowboys Inspired i ita Lt» Ll COWBOY FAVORITES ON THE JOB |THE STORY
Exploits of Hoot Gibson

A “kid’s” driving ambition

to excel the stunts of profes-

sional cowboys, whose exploits he had watched with bated
breath, launched Hoot Gibson on a campaign of training and
practice which covered his entire boyhood life.

Gibson comes to the
“The Law Rides Again,”
gram’s thrilling western drama in
which he is co-starred with Ken
Maynard.

Hoot was born on a ranch near
Tekamah, Nebraska, in a section
where cowboys and down-to-earth
westerners lived on the open range.
He was little more than a baby
when he learned to ride a horse,
and his skill increased during the
years in scenic surroundings which
he accepted as a matter of course.
But it was his later attendance
at circuses, wild west shows and
particularly the town’s only mo-
tion picture theatre that fired
his ambition, for here he saw a
glorified type of cowboys, whose
lives seemed to be made up of a
continual -succession of spectacular
stunts, involving not only trick rid-
ing and roping but dangerous feats
of all descriptions. This, decided
Hoot, was the life he wanted.

The town motion picture theatre
showed western films on every bill,
and only the state of the young-
ster’s finances prevented his at-
tendance every night. But eventu-
ally even this difficulty was over-
come, when he secured a job oper-
ating the phonograph which took
the place of an orchestra at the
show. Thus he was able to study
the cowboys each night, and to
practice emulating their stunts the
next day.

How well Hoot had learned his
lessons was proven when, at the
age of 18, he won the all-around
cowboy championship of the world
at the famous Roundup at Pendle-
ton, Oregon.

The cast supporting Gibson and
Maynard is headed by Betty Miles
and Jack LaRue, and also includes
Emmett Lynn, Bryant Washburn,
Kenneth Harlan, Chief Thunder-
cloud and Chief Many Treaties.
Alan James directed under the pro-
duction supervision of Robert Tan-
sey.

EXPERIENCED

Emmett Lynn has spent many
years in legitimate plays, vaudeville,
burlesque and radio, and made his
screen debut with the old Biograph
company in 1913, in the era of si-
lent pictures. Lynn comes to the
oa Sep eS theatre on in
“The Law Rides Again,” the fast-
moving Monogram western drama
which co-stars Ken Maynard and
Hoot Gibson.

AIRMAN

Before the war so greatly changed
the lives of United States citizens,
Ken Maynard not only bought a
new car every year, but also a new
airplane, owning seven of the lat-
ter in seven years. He is consid-
ered the most expert flyer in the
Hollywood film colony. Maynard
comes to the theatre on
Gare ees aee , co-starring with Hoot
Gibson in the Monogram western
drama, “The Law Rides Again.”

Starred in Exciting Western

(Revi

ew)

“The Law Rides Again,” second in the new series of Mon-
ogram western pictures starring Ken Maynard and Hoot
Gibson, is even better than the first. It is fast action from
the word “Go,” and is a constant succession of thrilling in-

cidents.

The new picture opened an en-*¥
gagement of days at the
tgs itp eke theatre last night, to an
audience which apparently enjoyed
it to the fullest extent.

Maynard and Gibson, long favor-
ites in the western field, are thor-
ough-going, down-to-earth cowboys,
and their spectacular riding stunts
add greatly to the interest of the
picture. Their supporting cast is
unusually good, including as it does
such capable performers as Jack

eee eee eeee

Emmett
Lynn and Kenneth Harlan. This is
not to mention a contingent of
hard-riding Indians, headed by
Chief Thundercloud and _ Chief
Many Treaties.

The story finds Maynard and
Gibson, deputy sheriffs, tracing the
cause for Indian uprisings near a
western town, and discovering that
the redskins have been systematic-
ally robbed by a corrupt Indian
agent controlling the district. <A
double-dealing bandit complicates
matters, and help comes from a
dashing young girl who can drive
stagecoach with the

S. Cavalry plays an important part
in a tremendously exciting climax.

“The Law Rides Again” was pro-
duced by Robert Tansey, and Alan
James directed from an_ original
screenplay by Frances Kavanaugh.
Marcel Le Picard contributed ex-
cellent photography.

(Not for Publication)

Hoot Gibson and Ken May-
nard, deputies, are authorized
by a U. S. Commissioner in
Arizona to use Duke Dillon, a
bandit just convicted of local
crimes, in an attempt to dis-
cover why the Indians near
Preston have gone on the war-
path. Betty Conway drives the
stage in which a U. S. marshal
and Dillon are riding to Pres-
ton, where John Hampton is lo-
cal Indian agent. Hoot and Ken
ride after the stage with word
of the Indian uprising. When
redskins attack the coach, Dil-
Ion kills the marshal and es-
capes, only to be recaptured

by the two cowboys. The In-
dians are outdistanced, and at
Preston the thoroughly tamed
Dillon leads the forces of the
law to the offices of Hampton,
whose gang, it transpires, has
been robbing the Indians of
practically all the cattle allotted
to them by the government.
Dillon kils Hampton and flees
with the latter's hoard of stolen
money, but is again captured
by Hoot and Ken among the
great rocks scattered over the
hills near the town. They are
stalked by Hampton’s big gang
of henchmen, but are saved
when Betty summons the cav-
alry from a nearby fort. The
sheriff also arrives at the head
of a band of Indians, who now
understand the situation. The
gang is wiped out, and Dillon
is turned over to the sheriff.

Riding Star Had
Colorful Career

Ken Maynard was a performer in
rodeos, wild west shows and cir-
cuses long before he thought of the
stage or screen, and was a star per-
former with Buffalo Bill, Hagen-
and Pawnee Bill’s
Wild West. During the winter sea-
sons he was a real down-to-earth
cowboy, riding the range in what-
ever part of the western country his
show closed its tour.

Later Maynard was a headliner
with the Ringling Bros. Circus, and

.| eventually made his entry into Hol-

lywood with still another tented
show. At that time he was signed
to a long-term film contract, and
quickly became established, in the
top rank of film cowboys.

Maynard comes to the
theatre on ......%. as co-star with
Hoot Gibson in “The Law Rides
Again,” Monogram’s thrilling drama
of the western frontier. Other mem-
bers of the cast are Betty Miles,
Jack LaRue, Bryant Washburn, Em-
mett Lynn, Charles Murray, Jr.,
Kenneth Harlan, Chief Thunder-
cloud and Chief Many Theaties.
Alan James directed for producer
Robert Tansey, and the original
screenplay was written by Frances
Kavanaugh.
